It's really too early to tell. Obviously Philly would be more vulnerable/likely because of it's location somewhat near the Atlantic. In any case, Pittsburgh would never experience an eye, because it would dissapate before it reached that far inland, but Da Burgh could definately experience some strong winds and lots of rain over a period of time, depending how fast the system was travelling and, of course, if it actually tavels that far west and how strong it remains. But like I said, it's too early for an accurate prediction. By Tuesday, y'all should know if it is going to impact the Pittsburgh at all and if so how much.

Editing here: shafnutz05 above is correct, it could be both, but in any case Philly would get worse than Pittsburgh.

unless they changed the forecast since this morning, Pittsburgh is expected to have 60 mph winds with gusts to 70.

But now they're saying there are two different scenarios

The rain

The snow

An intriguing side of this storm isn't tropical in nature at all pulled into the storm to change rain to heavy, wet snow in at least the higher terrain of West Virginia, western Virginia and even the mountains of northwestern North Carolina. Again, it's too early to focus on specifics, but a crippling snow event measured in feet is not out of the question for parts of West Virginia if the track is just right.
